,Toull it may concern: I `Be it known-,that L PETER Genoma, of

Franklin, Warren county, Ghio, have invented a new and Improved- Mode of Attaching Single-Trees to their ShaftBars and I do hereby declare the following to he a fl`1ll, clear, and exact description thereof, reference 'being had to the accompanying draw-ings, making part Oflhi s pcitill. 1 j

My invention consists inan improved constrnction 4 ofthe stay-plates of single-trees, whereby the said'-stayplatesmayf be 'more tothe singletreeandV shaftbar,
